It applies to those lists which have a policy on HTML mail identical to that of 
the Fedora mailing list.  This is not the same as "all lists."

This is a canard.  Given most of the bandwidth is taken up by spam, the tiny 
fraction that you can save by shifting messages from HTML to raw text is 
utterly insignificant.  It's a rounding error.

By that logic I should block plain text emails, based on how many malicious 
emails I get in those formats.

There are certainly reasons to avoid HTML email, but these reasons don't strike 
me as especially persuasive.
